Mokopedia intends to make wikipedia accessible on your phone even without being online because all articles will reside bzipped on an SD Card.

It is based on the [[Look_%26_Feel#Native_Stylus-Based | Stylus Demo]] by [[User:Mickey|Mickey]] which one can find in openmoko/trunk/src/target/OM-2007/examples/. Please submit more feature ideas!

It's now rewritten in python and uses pythons gtkhtml2 binding (not available yet on openmoko - fgau is working on it) and bzip2 binding to do everything the former version in c did.
